Works & Process Will Host BalletX: MASLOW'S PEAK By Jennifer Archibald

Works & Process at the Guggenheim will present BalletX: Maslow's Peak by Jennifer Archibald, on March 23, 2025 at the Peter B. Lewis Theater, 1071 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10128 at 7pm. Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased online now.

Jennifer Archibald, hailed by the Philadelphia Inquirer for her “sleek, lovely, highly athletic” choreography, explores human nature and survival in this daring, full-length work inspired by such powerful stories as William Golding's Lord of the Flies. Prior to its world premiere in Philadelphia at BalletX's Festival at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts, May 2-3, members of the creative team, including Archibald and award-winning director and designer Guy de Lancey, will discuss their collaboration with Christine Cox, BalletX's Artistic & Executive Director and co-founder.

BalletX, Philadelphia's premier contemporary ballet, unites artistic innovation with technical excellence to forge new works of athleticism, emotion, and grace. Founded in 2005 and led by Artistic & Executive Director Christine Cox, the company has commissioned nearly 80 choreographers from around the world to produce 140 world premieres that are “fresh, inclusive, and connect to what people want” (Philadelphia Citizen). With a versatile and diverse ensemble of 16 dancers, hailed as “among America's best” by The New York Times, BalletX pushes the boundaries of classical ballet to tell today's stories with passion, creativity, and exuberance. As a vibrant global incubator for artistic talent, the company makes ballet accessible and inviting, captivating audiences at prestigious venues including The Kennedy Center, Vail Dance Festival, The Joyce Theater, and Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. Through performances, international touring, and meaningful community outreach, BalletX creates extraordinary dance experiences that inspire human connection.
